The global simulation software market size reached US$ 13.2 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 27.4 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9% during 2022-2028. The growing cost and complexity of physical testing of vehicles, rising demand for virtual testing software, and increasing investments in research and development (R&D) activities represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Simulation software refers to a decision analysis and support tool that allows companies to observe the real-time operation and examination of the system with various inputs and tracking responses. It aids in reducing overall expenditure and minimizing costs incurred on training. It also helps to evaluate different designs, optimize processes, and make informed decisions. Moreover, it allows researchers, engineers, and scientists to experiment with different parameters and scenarios without expensive physical prototypes. Simulation software is widely used in engineering and manufacturing industries to simulate the behavior of machines, vehicles, and other complex systems. It is also employed in healthcare facilities to model medical procedures and devices. At present, simulation software also finds extensive application in the aerospace, defense, electrical and electronics, and automotive sectors across the globe.

Simulation Software Market Trends:
Presently, the growing global population and rising environmental concerns are increasing the overall sales of autonomous electric vehicles (EVs) and catalyzing the demand for virtual testing and training of vehicles in real-world scenarios and developing prototypes without the risk of producing faulty products.
